Definitions

  • This invention relates to mounting materials for catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters or traps.
  • Pollution control devices are universally employed on motor vehicles to control atmospheric pollution.
  • Two types of devices are currently in widespread use - catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters or traps.
  • Catalytic converters contain a catalyst, which is typically coated onto a monolithic structure in the converter. The catalyst oxidizes carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons, and reduces ofthe oxides of nitrogen in automobile exhaust gases to control atmospheric pollution.
  • Diesel particulate filters or traps are wall flow filters which have honeycombed monolithic structures typically made from porous crystalline ceramic materials.
  • each type ofthe these devices has a metal housing which holds within it a monolithic structure or element that can be metal or ceramic, and is most commonly ceramic.
  • the ceramic monolith generally has very thin walls to provide a large amount of surface area so it is fragile and susceptible to breakage. It also has a coefficient of thermal expansion generally an order of magnitude less than the metal (usually stainless steel) housing in which it is contained.
  • ceramic mat or paste materials are typically disposed between the ceramic monolith and the metal housing.
  • the process of placing or inserting the mounting material is also referred to as canning and includes such processes as injecting a paste into a gap between the monolith and the metal housing, or wrapping a sheet or mat material around the monolith and inserting the wrapped monolith into the housing.
  • the mounting materials include inorganic binders, inorganic fibers that may also serve as a binder, intumescent materials, and optionally, organic binders, fillers, and other adjuvants.
  • the materials are used as pastes, sheets, and mats. Ceramic mat materials, ceramic pastes, and intumescent sheet materials useful for mounting the monolith in the housing are described in, for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 3,916,057 (Hatch et al.), 4,305,992 (Langer et al.), 4,385,135 (Langer et al.), 5,254,410 (Langer et al.), and 5,242,871 (Hashimoto et al.).
  • the invention provides an intumescent sheet material comprising 25 to 60 dry weight percent of at least one unexpanded intumescent material, 25 to 60 dry weight percent of ceramic fibers, 0.5 to 5 dry weight percent of glass fibers having a diameter of less than about 2 microns, and 0.1 to 15 dry weight percent of organic binder, wherein said intumescent sheet material has a cold erosion rate of less than 0.05 grams/hour.
  • the invention also provides catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters containing the sheet material.
  • the present invention provides a mat or sheet mounting material having superior erosion resistance for mounting fragile monolithic structures for use in demanding high temperature environments, such as would be encountered in catalytic converters and diesel particulate traps.
  • the mounting materials ofthe invention comprise from about 25% to 60 % by weight of ceramic fibers, from about 25% to about 60% by weight of at least one unexpanded intumescent material, 0.1 % to 5% by weight of glass fibers having a diameter less than about 2.0 micrometers, and 0.1 to 15% organic binder.
  • the mounting materials are mats that are formed with compositions by known wet-laid or paper-making processes.
  • the composition typically contain a large amount of water, i.e., greater than 95% water, with the solids well-dispersed with the mixture.
  • the mixture is then quickly poured onto a screen and drained to form mats, which are then dried before using as a mounting material.
  • the glass fibers useful in the practice ofthe invention are glass microfibers having a diameter less than about 2.0 micrometers.
  • Suitable glasses include borosilcate glasses such as calcium aluminoborosilicate, magnesium aluminoborosilicate, and alkali (e.g., sodium and potassium) borosilicate.
  • the fibers are made from alkali borosilicate glass.
  • the term "glass” as used herein refers to an amo ⁇ hous (i.e., a material having a diffuse x-ray diffraction pattem without definite lines to indicate the presence ofa crystalline phase) inorganic oxide material.
  • Suitable glass fibers have a softening point near the temperature of use.
  • This temperature is typically below about 900C, preferably below about 850C, and most preferably below about 800C.
  • softening point refers to the temperature at which a glass in the form ofa fiber of uniform diameter elongates at a specific rate under its own weight.
  • Suitable glass fibers are commercially available under the Micro-StrandTM Micro- FibersTM trademark from Schuller Co.
  • the glass fibers are useful in amounts from about 0.1% to about 5% by weight, and preferably from about 2% to 4%. When used in amounts greater that about 5%, the fibers can inhibit the draining ofthe composition in the wet-laid process used in making the mats. In the preferred embodiments, the glass fibers have a diameter less than about 1 micrometer.
  • the ceramic fibers provide resiliency and flexibility to sheet mounting materials prior to mounting in a catalytic converter as well as cohesive strength and resiliency to the mounting materials in use at high temperatures.
  • Useful materials for fibers include graphite, alumina-silica, silica, and calcium-silica.
  • Preferred materials include alumina- silica and calcium-silica.
  • Suitable fibers that are commercially available include aluminosilicate fibers such as FIBERFRAX 7000M fibers from Carborundum Company of Niagara Falls, New York, CERAFIBER from Thermal Ceramics of Augusta, Georgia.
  • Suitable intumescent materials include unexpanded vermiculite, vermiculite ore, hydrobiotite, water swellable synthetic tetrasilicic fluorine type mica described in U.S. Patent No. 3,001,571, alkali metal silicate granules as described in U.S. Patent No. 4,521,333 (Graham et al.), and expandable graphite.
  • Suitable intumescent materials also include ExpantrolTM granules available from Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing Co., St. Paul Minnesota. Preferred intumescent materials are unexpanded vermiculite, and vermiculite ore.
  • Resinous organic binders are added to improve the resiliency and strength ofthe sheet materials before and during canning.
  • Suitable organic binder materials include aqueous polymer emulsions, solvent- based polymers, and 100% solids polymers.
  • Aqueous polymer emulsions are organic binders polymers and elastomers in the latex form (e.g., natural rubber latices, styrene- butadiene latices, butadiene-acrylonitrile latices, and latices of acrylate and methacrylate polymers and copolymers).
  • Solvent-based polymeric binders can include a polymer such as an acrylic, a polyurethane, or a rubber-based organic polymer.
  • the 100% solids polymers include natural rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, and other elastomers.
  • the organic binder material includes an aqueous acrylic emulsion.
  • Acrylic emulsions are preferred because of their aging properties and noncorrosive combustion products.
  • Useful acrylic emulsions include those commercially available under the trade designations "RHOPLEX TR-934" (a 44.5% by weight solids aqueous acrylic emulsion) and "RHOPLEX HA-8" (a 44.5% by weight solids aqueous emulsion of acrylic copolymers) from Rohm and Haas of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
  • a preferred acrylic emulsion is commercially available under the trade designation "NEOCRYL XA- 2022" (a 60.5% solids aqueous dispersion of acrylic resin) from ICI Resins US of Wilmington, Massachusetts., and AirflexTM 500BP DEV (55% by weight solids aqueous emulsion of ethylene vinyl acetate acrylate te ⁇ olymer) from Air Products and Chemicals . Inc., Allentown, Pennsylvania.
  • Organic binder materials can include at least one plasticizer.
  • Plasticizers tend to soften a polymer matrix and can contribute to the flexibility and moldability ofthe sheet materials made from the composition.
  • the organic binder materials are present in amounts of from about 0.1% to 15% by dry solids weight, and preferably 2% to 10%.
  • the weight ofthe organic binder materials includes the polymer or copolymer solids and any plasticizer.
  • the organic binder is present in amounts of about 4% to 8 % by weight.
  • Inorganic binder materials such as clays, e.g., sepiolite and bentonite, colloidal silicas and aluminas, and alkali silicates, especially in amounts greater than about 5%, are preferably avoided because they tend to stiffen the sheets and make them less flexible. Inorganic fibers can also make the sheets less resilient.
  • the ceramic fibers, the glass fibers, the intumescent agents, the organic binder, other fibers, and fillers are mixed together.
  • water, dispersants, plasticizers, and surfactants can independently be added to aid in mixing the components together and/or to adjust the viscosity ofthe mixture.
  • Mat compositions are slurries which can be formed into sheets by traditional wet-laid non-woven papermaking techniques on commercially available equipment such as Fourdrinier machines. Briefly, this process includes pouring the slurry onto a wire mesh or screen, and either applying a vacuum to the screen to remove most ofthe water or simply allowing the slurry to drain on the screen by gravity. The formed sheet is then pressed and dried to form a resilient mat.
  • a catalytic converter or diesel particulate filter generally comprises a housing, a monolithic structure or element(s), and a mounting material disposed between the structure and the housing to hold the structure in place.
  • the housing which is also referred to as a can or a casing, can be made from suitable materials known in the art for such use and is typically made of metal.
  • the housing is made of stainless steel.
  • Suitable catalytic converter elements also referred to a monoliths, are known in the art and include those made of metal or ceramic. The monoliths or elements are used to support the catalyst materials for the converter.
  • a useful catalytic converter element is disclosed, for example, in U.S. Patent No. RE 27,747 (Johnson).
  • ceramic catalytic converter elements are commercially available, for example, from Corning Inc. of Corning, New York, and NGK Insulator Ltd. of Nagoya, Japan.
  • a honeycomb ceramic catalyst support is marketed under the trade designation "CELCOR” by Corning Inc. and "HONEYCERAM” by NGK Insulator Ltd.

  • the catalyst materials coated onto the catalytic converter elements include those known in the art (e.g., metals such as ruthenium, osmium, rhodium, iridium, nickel, palladium, and platinum, and metal oxides such as vanadium pentoxide and titanium dioxide).
  • metals such as ruthenium, osmium, rhodium, iridium, nickel, palladium, and platinum, and metal oxides such as vanadium pentoxide and titanium dioxide.
  • Conventional monolithic type diesel particulate filter elements are typically wall flow filters comprised of honeycombed, porous, crystalline ceramic (e.g., cordierite) material. Alternate cells ofthe honeycombed structure are typically plugged such that exhaust gas enters in one cell and is forced through the porous wall of one cell and exits the structure through another cell.
  • the size ofthe diesel particulate filter element depends on the particular application needs.
  • Useful diesel particulate filter elements are commercially available, for example, from Corning Inc. of Corning, New York, and NGK Insulator Ltd. of Nagoya, Japan. Further, useful diesel particulate filter elements are discussed in "Cellular Ceramic Diesel Particulate Filter,” Howitt et al., Paper No. 810114, SAE Technical Paper Series, 1981.
  • the mounting materials ofthe invention are disposed between the monolith and the housing in similar fashion for either a catalytic converter or for a diesel particulate filter. This can be done by wrapping the monolith with a sheet of the mounting material, inserting the wrapped monolith into the housing, and sealing the housing.
  • This test is designed to evaluate the ability of an intumescent mounting mat to resist edge erosion from an impinging hot air stream.
  • a sample ofthe intumescent mat was cut into a 4.6 cm by 4.9 cm rectangular shape and mounted between two independently electrically heated plates so that an edge ofthe cut mat was flush with the leading edges of two plates.
  • the mat was then compressed to a mount density of 0.60 g/cm .
  • the top plate was heated to 800C and the bottom plate was heated to 475C. Air, heated to about 615C, was then pulsed over the exposed edge ofthe mat at 60 times per minute through a circular 0.32 cm diameter round orifice ofa nozzle positioned 1.588 cm from the edge ofthe mat.
  • the gage pressure at the nozzle was about 0.19 megaPascals (27 psi).
  • the test was terminated after 24 hours or when an erosion depth of 1.75 cm (0.5 inch) was reached.
  • the amount of erosion was determined by comparing the weight ofthe mounting mat sample before and after the test.
  • the erosion rate was determined by dividing the weight lost after the test by the time of the test.
  • This test is designed to accelerate the hot erosion rates. It consists of exposing the mat samples mounted in the test plates to 900C for 1 hour prior to testing. After this preheating, hot erosion procedure as described above is followed.
  • a test sample is cut into a square measuring 2.54 cm by 2.54 cm, weighed, and mounted between two high temperature Inconel 601 steel plates using spacers to obtain a mount density of 0.700 +/-0.005 g/cm .
  • the test assembly is then heated for two hours at 800C and cooled to room temperature.
  • the cooled test assembly is then positioned 3.8 mm in front of an air jet oscillating back and forth over the edge ofthe mat at 20 cycles per minute. This test is discontinued after 0.2 grams of material is lost or after 24 hours, whichever occurs first.
  • the air jet impinges on the mat at a velocity of 305 meters per second.
  • the erosion rate is determined by the weight loss divided by the time ofthe test and is reported in grams/hour (g/hr).
  • Example 1 A mat composition was prepared by adding 2.5 liters of water and 6.6 grams of glass microfibers (Micro-StandTM MicrofiberTM 106/475 available from Schuller, Denver, Colorado) and in 3.8 liter Waring blender set at low speed, blended for 15 seconds. 41.7 grams of ceramic fibers (FiberfraxTM 7000M, available from Carborundum Company, Niagara Falls, New York) were then added and blended for 15 seconds. The fiber slurry was then transferred to a 4 liter beaker using 1 liter of rinse water and mixed with a propeller blade air mixer.

  • Waring blender set at low speed
  • 41.7 grams of ceramic fibers (FiberfraxTM 7000M, available from Carborundum Company, Niagara Falls, New York) were then added and blended for 15 seconds.
  • the fiber slurry was then transferred to a 4 liter beaker using 1 liter of rinse water and mixed with a propel
  • the slurry was then dewatered immediately after pouring to minimize settling ofthe particles.
  • the surface ofthe sheet was then blotted with paper and removed from the mold.
  • the sheet was then sandwiched between additional blotter papers, pressed at 6 kiloPascals for 5 minutes, and dried on a sheet drier (Williams Apparatus Co.) for 45 minutes at 1 IOC.
  • the resulting sheet had a thickness of 5.0 mm.
  • Mats were prepared as in Example 1 except that the sheets were either formed on a hand sheet mold (HS) or on a Fourdrinier or Rotoformer paper making machine (PM), and the amounts of glass microfibers were varied from 0.5% to 5% by dry weight as indicated in Table 1. The mats were tested for hot erosion and cold erosion according the above-described test procedures. Test results are shown in Table 1.
  • Table 1 show significant improvement in erosion resistance of the mat materials ofthe invention as compared to mat materials that have no glass microfibers.
